I am doing some work in try to help my niece get her computer connected to her high speed internet service provider.
But one of the things that I noticed about her computer while working on it was, that she has a photograph (which she apparently took with her digital camera) of her dog as the desktop background for her XP operating system.
I noticed that when I would go into the properties of the display section, that when I attempted to exit out of the display properties screen/section (whether I had made any changes or not to the display properties), that it would take a very long time for the display properties diagonal/window to close.
BUT when I decided to change her background from the digital picture of her dog to any of the backgrounds that are a part of XP, then the display properties screen would close IMMEDIATELY, i.e. no lag or delay.
Am I correct that she should not be using this digital picture as a desktop background because it is taking a great deal of computer resources to maintain this digital image on the display as the background ? A more technical explanation of this is welcome if you have one.
Thanks.
